I am very much on the triggered side when people say things like “this is how my camera sees it”, because it’s never what they show. What sensor sees is numbers that without interpretation by you, the human, and/or automated software are meaningless. What people show when they say “this is how my camera sees it” is always “this is how I see it”, or more more specifically “this is how I want you to see it”—as the interpretation of that raw data is a critical part—and I think it’s not very pedantic to point it out.
